I cannot praise Donna enough, every email she was straight on it. We didn’t have a smooth sale due to issues but Donna was fantastic with how to deal with them and her communication, cannot thank her enough x

Good student property viewing

I recently viewed 2 different student properties and Arabel did a great job showing me around! There were some difficulties entering properties due to card access but Arabel handled everything well. I also appreciated the flexibility in pricing along with some freebies. Moving forward, I think tenants should be notified of house viewings as they were unaware and therefore interrupted by our viewing.

Agent replied · 21 May 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding your viewing experience. We are glad Arabel was helpful despite the access difficulties. We will also take on your feedback with relation to the notification to tenants as this is important. Thank you again and if we can be of any further support, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Refused Viewings Despite Evidence of Affordability and Guarantorcted John Shepherd to enquire…

I contacted John Shepherd to enquire about renting after being made redundant last year. My income position is non-standard because I have a mix of PAYE income, redundancy payment and self-employment income. I explained that I had evidence of funds, could provide supporting documentation and also had a guarantor.

Excellent Property Management! We have been working with Beth in her role as Property Manager for some time now and I must say she is exemplary in her abilities. Her communication and reasoning skills are outstanding with her primary focus always being the welfare of her clients and tenants. She is relentless in ensuring that her contractors work to the highest standards in a timely fashion.

Chasing up money owed to us for a year - not paid.

Throughout our years tenancy with John shepherd we have been chasing up a £100 cash incentive that was originally offered to us for staying on with the company. After numerous emails, phone calls and visits to there office with promises being made to us, we are still yet to be paid. Overall, the management and staff communication at the company seems very poor, and they have very little regard to students.
